LOngshOremen and Freig mt Han.

dlers Return to Work.
New YORK, February l2.--The dec.
laration of District Assembly 40 last
night that the strike was off caused q
general rush of longshoremen and freight
handlers along the whole river front this
morning to get back TO work at some
piers along East river. The strikers had
not even waited for orders from head
quarters, but had gone baek to work on
the best terms they could make. AS
early as six o'clock gangs of strikers
were seen around the piers waiting to
catch the foremen and superintendent
as they came to their respective piers.
At the Maine Steamship Company's pier
all of the old hands had returned. At
the Clyde, Mallory & Ward piers also
many old hands had found their way
back, but in no instance were they
recognized as unionists. By Monday it
is expected the business OF the COM
panies will have resumed normal shape.
At the evening session at headquarters
one of the executive committee stated
that the end of the strike would not end
the boycott on the Old Dominion line.
The men who turned out with the
strikers on this pier who did not belong
to the union will be assisted with money
until they get employment. More of
the strikers went to work on the steam.
ship piers in the afternoon. The officers
of the 'longshoremens union state that
nearly all of their men will be a.
work Monday. The movement of
freight continues to improve. The
strikers on the Lehigh Valley Railroad
pier went to work this morning. A
large number went on the Jersey Cen.
tral pier. At No. 4, of the Pennsylva-
mia comp my, score of strikers asked
to be put to work, but were refused,
Agent j. s. Boden stating that they
could not come back under any circum-
stances. At the other piers the old
hands are being taken back. Big piles
of freight are fast disappearing. In the
poor quarters Of this city and Brooklyn
Che people who live from hand to mouth
are many of them in very sore straits.
Tradesmen have given all the credit
they can afford. 1t is almost impos.
psible to collect rents and the suffering
has been great for some time.

of education, culture and business in
tegrity. Now, Mr.. Hornet, as you
very properly estimate each by his
"education, culture and business in
tegrity," what have you to say for
the white man that has neither, and
wherein is he different from the Negro
that has neither? And then by your
own manner of estimate are you not
compelled to admit that the Negro of
education, culture and business in
tegrity," is the superior of the illite-
rate white man?
The Negroes position has been a SER
vile one, but that condition is fast
changing, and the white man is taking
the Negroes old place as fast as he
voluntarily yields. The Negro is fast
becoming masters of trades and pro-
fessions, and chords of the soil. "
There are thousands of Negroes in
North Carolina far superior in "edu-
cation, culture and business integri-
ty," to any one connected with the
Hornet. Then if there is "level-
ing" and the Negro has not the abili-
ty, why then, according to the Hornet
the white man has never reached his
proper Standard The Negroes say
ings are not troubling the white man
half so much as his doings trouble a
certain class that see so many Negroes
outstripping them in The race of life.

About Home Markets.



Atlanta Constitution.
Some of the arguments of the free
traders are as prcposterous as their
theory is impracticable. The Consti-
tuition has been urging that the great
need of the southern farmer is home
markets, so that they may be able. by
diversifying their crops, by raising
fruits, vegetables and other garden pro-
duce. by producing milk, butter,
chickens, eggs, to pocket the money
they receive for their cotton, or to
make money even if they raise no cot
ton.
Commenting on something the Con-
stitution has said on this all-important
question, the Courier-Journal makes
this queer argument:
''The home market plea is delu-
sion; the home market is ours anyhow
England cannot send greens to Mem
phis Countries flourish and cities
grow when all classes are prosperous.
Today the farming class is kept down
by u tariff which restricts the farmers
market. The tariff does not fix the
price of cotton; that is fixed in Liver
pool. The tariff increases the cost of
raising cotton, corn and wheat, it taxes
everything that is used in the cultiva-
ton of the crop; everything used in
building fences, barns and houses;
everything used in making wagons
and carts"
The home market plea delusion!
The home market ours anyhow. This
is the sort of foolish talk that General
Miles, practical and successful farm
er, protested against in his eloquent re-
marks before the Farmers Interstate
convention. The home market is ours
anyhow, This is as much as to say
that the farmers who live near the in
dustrial conters would have home
markets if the policy Of protection had
never built up these industrial ccnters.
England cannot send greens to Mem
phis. y This is true, indeed, nor can
the Southern farmer send greens to
Memphis who has no Memphis to send
it to.
1.-THE home markets. ours anyhow"
but there are thousands-yea, tens of
thousands of farmers in the South who
arc compelled to depend Oh cotton as
the money crops. Some of these are
prosperous, because they have the
business sense-we may say the COM
mon sense to raise their supplies at
home, but thc majority of them are
gradually growing poorer every year.
1t is easy enough for the small pol
itician and the whipper-snapper editor
to rise up and tell this despairing
class that il is the tariff that is keep
ing them poor; but sensible men
know better. Farmers who are saga
cious enough to raise their own sup
plies, which is the very essence of
protection, are not only getting along
very we'll, but are making money.
Farmers who have home markets not
only raise their own supplies, but
something to sell, and in this way
they are enabled to save money.
owe have our own home markets,
anyhow" but if the industries of
Atlanta, large and small, had not
built the city up, the farmers around
here would have to sell their greens
in Memphis, and they would make
about as much at it as the farmers of
England.
The arguments of the Courier
Journal are absurd, but they are no
more absurd than the other arguments
in favor of free trade.
